Quantum Speaker Series: Accelerating Quantum Innovation Through Standardization

Launched in 2025, the Advancing Standardization for Critical and Emerging Technologies (ASCET) Center of Excellence is an initiative designed to accelerate U.S. leadership and engagement in international standards and standardization for critical and emerging technologies, such as quantum. ASCET supports private sector-driven engagement and capacity building by fostering collaboration across industry, academia, standards setting organizations, and government, among other stakeholders. ASCET was formed under a cooperative agreement between ASTM International and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). ASCET’s mission, as it relates to quantum technologies, is to: a) broaden and diversify U.S. stakeholder participation in quantum standardization; b) cultivate a new generation of quantum subject matter experts who participate in standards; c) support U.S. private sector priorities through training, tools, and targeted initiatives; and d) accelerate the development and implementation of impactful, industry-driven, international quantum standards.

 

The goals of this session are not only to introduce ASCET and its objectives to you but also to communicate the urgency of quantum standardization for U.S. based organizations and industry professionals at this juncture in quantum’s growth.
